This study empirically analyzes the factors influencing the commuting time of households with multiple commuters in Chungnam Province. In particular, we examined how the commuting time varies between commuters depending on their wage gaps. A regression equation, in which the dependent variable was the difference in commuting time, was used. The key independent variable was the wage gap for households with two commuters. Further estimations were performed on samples restricted to dual-income couples with additional variables such as the wife’s household work burden, number of preschool children, and number of caregivers for children. Based on the results of the empirical analyses using the Chungnam Social Survey, the larger the wage gap between two commuters in a household, the longer the commuting time for high-wage commuters than for low-wage commuters. This contradicts the argument that a higher opportunity cost of commuting for higher wages should reduce the commuting time. In the analysis of dual-income couples, the wife’s commuting time was relatively shorter than that of the husband’s because of the burden of housework; however, the influence of childcare was not observed. As households with multiple commuters or dual-income couples become increasingly common, and the structure of cities changes from monocentric to multicentric, deciding where to live has become more complicated. Long-time and long-distance commuting can lead to wasteful commuting, and this needs to be considered as a social cost owing to the possibility of traffic congestion beyond the loss for the individual concerned. Therefore, the government’s urban policies, including housing and transportation policies, must be improved.

This study aimed to compare food procurement and dietary behavior of single-person households in Korea. A total of 949 single-person households that participated in the 2022 Food Consumption Behavior Survey were divided into three age groups: 20~39 years (n=204), 40~59 years (n=317), and 60~74 years (n=428). Monthly expenditure on eating out was similar for the 20~39 and 40~59 age groups at around 145,000 KRW, while the 60~74 age group spent 79,823 KRW (p<0.001). The frequency of eating out was the highest at 2~3 days per week for the 20~39 age group, with take-out occurring 1 day per week (p<0.01). Regarding online food purchases, 35% of the 20~39 age group bought food online once every two weeks, whereas 40~59 and 60~74 age groups had higher percentages of those buying non-online food (44.7% and 89.0%, respectively, p<0.001). Regarding dietary competency index, healthy eating scores were the highest in the 60~74 age group (p<0.01). As the dietary competency index increased, monthly expenditure on take-out decreased for the 40~59 age group while satisfaction with current diet increased across all age groups (p<0.01). This study is expected to be helpful for developing nutrition education materials tailored to different life stages.

국내에서 지진 발생빈도가 증가함에 따라 다가구주택 필로티기둥의 내진보강이 필수적이다. FRP 패널은 경량성과 고강도를 갖춘 내진 보강재료 사용되고 있으나, 상대적으로 낮은 임계온도로 인해 화재에 취약하다. 따라서 FRP 패널로 보강된 RC 기둥의 내화 성능을 확보할 방안이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 FRP 패널로 보강된 RC 기둥의 내화성능을 평가하기 위해, FRP 패널의 열적특성(비열, 열전도율, Weight loss)을 확인하는 소재시험을 진행하였다. 또한, FRP 패널로 보강된 RC 단주기둥에 뿜칠을 도포하고, 표준화재 1시간 동안의 온도거동을 분석하였다.

This study aimed to understand the needs of consumers in the meal kit market and determine the impact of meal kit selection attributes according to the consumption behavior of single-person households on purchase decisions and satisfaction. A summary of the results of this study is as follows: First, the most frequent purchase frequency of meal kits was 2 to 3 times a month. The reason for purchase was that it was easy to consume, and the most common purpose of purchase was for consumption. Second, four factors, including health, convenience, taste, and economics, were derived as a result of a factor analysis of meal kit selection attributes. The difference in meal kit selection attributes according to age groups revealed that those in their 20s had high scores with respect to health and taste factors, and economic factors appeared statistically significant. Third, an analysis of the meal kit product selection attributes showed that health and taste factors had a positive influence on satisfaction. This can be said to reflect the tendency of single-person households to give weightage to healthy eating and to purchase products that can be consumed conveniently.

This study aims to develop effective strategies for stimulating seafood consumption in the growing young children market, particularly at a time when interest in healthy eating is increasing. To achieve this, data from the 2023 survey on changes in seafood consumption behavior of 1,000 domestic consumers by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency were utilized. The analysis was conducted using an ordered probit model, along with T-tests and chi-square tests to examine the determinants of seafood consumption. The results indicated that the presence of young children in a household significantly influences seafood consumption. This is largely due to the perception that seafood is beneficial for the health and safety of infants and toddlers. Households with young children prioritize food safety and convenience, showing a preference for pre-processed seafood, while households without young children tend to purchase unprocessed seafood and prepare it themselves. This study highlights the impact of having young children on seafood consumption and purchasing behavior, providing valuable insights for the development of targeted seafood marketing strategies and policies.

In-beop-dang (因法堂) is a building type that can confirm the complex space composition of the hermitage in the late Joseon Period, which is designed to accommodate various functions such as Buddhist priesthood, living spaces, and auditoriums. These facts have been confirmed mainly through plan analysis in many previous researches. However, such a plan composition has the potential to lead to more in-depth research when dealt with consideration of the Korean traditional wooden structure. In particular, the composition of upper structure in In-beop-dang with Toi-maru in front of the On-dol room can be considered from the perspective of structural response to wooden architecture in the Joseon period after the introduction of Toi-maru. Based on the achievements of these prior studies, this paper was conducted to examine the compositional characteristics, including the upper structure of the Wha-jang-am (華藏庵) In-beop-dang. In order to examine the universal aspects of structural type changes to cope with the complex spatial composition of the In-beop-dang, the cases of an in-mountain hermitage of Kim Nyong-sa(金龍寺) Temple, Geum-seon-dae (金仙臺), Yang-jin-am (養眞庵), and Dae-sung-am (大成庵).

본 연구는 1인 가구구성원과 다인 가구구성원 간에 주거환경 만족도 차이를 규명하고, 반려동물이 1인 가구구성원의 주거환경 만족에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 검증하는 것이다. 연구목적을 달성하기 위해 ‘2022년 서울서베이 가구주조사’ 원시 데이터로부터 자료를 수집하였다. 그리고 SPSS 21.0을 활용하여 빈도분석, 기술통계분석, 상관관계분석, T- 검정, 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 주거환경 만족도는 1인 가구구성원 보 다 다인 가구구성원이 더 높았다. 둘째, 1인 가구구성원의 경우 반려동물을 소유할수록 주거환경 만족도가 증가하였다. 셋째, 1인 가구구성원의 경우 반려동물(개, 고양이 제외) 수가 증가할수록 주거환경 만족도가 감소하였다. 연구결과에 근거하여 1인 가구구성원의 주거환경 만족도 향상을 위한 방안으로써 개나 고양이와 같은 반려동물 소유의 필요성을 제안하였다.

The composition of the upper structure, which can be found in the 3-Dori type buildings in Yang-dong Village, varies significantly from time to time. The upper structure of the Gwan-ga-jeong, known as a house in the mid-Joseon Dynasty, consists of a basic 3-Dori type structure in which a beam is placed under 3-Dori and supported with two flat columns. On the other hand, the upper structure of I-hyang-jeong historic house, built in the 17th century, is different in that it has a stud between the two flat columns. The upper structure of Sa-ho-dang historic house, a 19th-century building is different from the upper structure of the buildings of the previous period in that three flat columns were used. As such, the difference in the composition method of the upper structure according to the construction period is closely related to the introduction of the Toi-maru, which is mainly explained by the boundary space. In addition, it can be expected that the introduction of the Toi-maru originated from the influence of the change in the plan. This study was conducted to examine the correlation between the plan and the composition of the boundary space through various typology of the 3-Dori upper structure distributed intensively in Yang-dong Village.

This study aimed to investigate the dietary changes among adults living alone during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Republic of Korea. An online survey was conducted to examine dietary changes before (in 2019) and during (in 2021) the pandemic. The data from 337 adults living alone who responded to the survey were used for analysis. The proportion of the respondents reporting frequent food consumption at convenience stores (≥3 times/week) increased during the pandemic (p=0.024), and the proportion of those frequently eating ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook food (≥3 times/week) was more than doubled (p<0.001). Additionally, the proportion of those frequently consuming delivered food (≥3 times/week) increased by 2.5 times (p<0.001). In conclusion, the dietary habits of adults living alone changed significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic, which may have a negative impact on their health. Therefore, the development of customized nutrition management programs to improve the dietary habits of adults living alone during emergencies like a pandemic is deemed necessary. This study can serve as a foundation for understanding the dietary changes of adults living alone in prolonged crisis.

이 논문은 통계청 가계동향조사 원시자료를 이용하여 가공식품비 지출액 결정요인을 파악하고자 하였다. 가구 특성과 가구주 특성이 가공식품비 지출액에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 토빗모형을 적용하여 분석하였다. 특히, 총 13개의 가공식품 부류별로 분석함으로써 가구 특성과 가구주 특성이 월평균 1인당 지출액에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 가공식품 부류별로 비교·분석하였다. 연구 결과에 따르면 도시가구가 농촌가구보다 곡물가공품, 빵 및 떡류, 기타식품, 쥬스 및 기타음료류에 대해 더 많은 지출을 하는 반면, 수산가공품, 유지류, 과일 및 채소 가공품, 조미식품, 커피 및 차류에 대한 지출은 더 적은 것으로 나타났다. 1인 가구의 경우, 2인 이상 가구보다 곡물가공품, 빵 및 떡류, 당류 및 과자류, 기타식품, 커피 및 차류, 쥬스 및 기타음료류에 높은 지출액을 보였지만, 육류가공품, 유지류, 과일 및 채소가공품, 조미식품에는 낮은 지출액을 보였다. 또한 소득수준이 높을수록 대부분의 가공식품 지출액이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 맞벌이가구의 경우 그렇지 않은 가구와 비교해 많은 부류에서 지출액이 높았다. 남성 가구주인 경우 곡물 및 육류가공품, 기타식품, 커피 및 차, 쥬스 및 음료에 대한 지출액이 여성 가구주일 때보다 높았다. 우리는 가공식품 지출액이 인구사회학적 요인에 따라 크게 달라짐을 보였다. 또한, 가공식품 부류에 따라 그 영향의 정도뿐 아니라 방향도 크게 차이날 수 있음을 밝혔다. 이는 식품제조업계와 유통업계가 가구와 가구주 특성을 고려한 마케팅 전략을 마련해야 함을 시사한다. 더욱이, 정책 입안자들은 식품 부류를 충분히 고려하여 식품산업 정책과 식생활 정책을 설계하길 기대한다.

우리 사회는 1960년대 산업화 이후 경제, 정치 등 다양한 영역에서 급속한 근대화와 압축 성장을 이루었다. 하지만 이러한 성장 속에서 계층 간 소득 격차와 양극화가 심화되는 등 여러 문제가 발생했고, 이는 국토 전체적으로는 물론 도시 내에서도 지역 간 불균형 발전을 야기했다. 본 연구는 소득 수준이 지역 간 불균형 발전에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해 가구별 연평균 소득과 인프라 접근성 간 관계를 실증적으로 분석한다. 연구에서는 서울시 소득 수준 데이터와 인프라 데이터를 사용하여 소득 수준과 인프라 접근성 간 관계를 다중회귀분석을 사용해 분석하였다. 연구의 공간적 범위는 서울시이며, 시간적 범위는 2017년으로 설정했다. 인프라 시설은 교육, 교통, 문화･여가, 보건, 체육 관련 시설로 구분했으며, 소득 수준과 함께 인구 밀도, 인구 수, 중심업무지구 여부 등이 접근성에 미치는 영향을 분석했다. 분석 결과 소득 수준에 따라 인프라 접근성에 차이가 나타난 것을 확인했고, 교통 인프라를 제외한 모든 분야에서 비교적 높은 상관관계가 도출되었다. 또한, 소득 수준 변화에 민감하게 반응하는 분야와 소득 수준에 따라 나타나는 인프라 접근성의 차이를 확인할 수 있었다.

This study aimed to determine the association between household types and healthy dietary practices among Korean adults. A cross-sectional analysis was performed using nationwide data on 23,488 participants from the 2017-2021 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). Based on self-reported data, the participant household types were classified into single- and multi-person households. The adjusted odds ratios (AORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for healthy dietary practices according to household types were calculated by applying multivariable logistic regression analysis after adjusting for confounders. Of total, 11.21% and 88.79% were single- and multi-person households, respectively. Compared with individuals living in multi-person households, those in single-person households had lower odds of adhering to healthy dietary practices (AOR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.79-0.98) and consuming adequate saturated fatty acids (<7% of energy) (AOR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.69-0.88). In addition, men and individuals aged 65 years living in single-person households exhibited lower odds of consuming adequate saturated fatty acids and 500 g of fruit and vegetables per day than those in multi-person households. Single-person households often find it a challenge to practice a healthy diet. Hence, nutritional policies and educational support that help individuals living alone consume healthier diets are warranted.

Considering that the number of middle-aged single-person households is increasing, this study investigates dietary behaviors, nutrient intake, and mental health according to household type. Data were procured from the 2015-2019 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). Totally, 5,466 participants aged 50-64 years were classified into 2 groups: a household with one member was defined as a single-person household, and households with two or more members were described as multi-person households. Single-person households comprised 10.63% of the total, with a higher average age, and lower income and economic levels than multi-person households. Compared to multiperson households, single-person households had a higher frequency of skipping breakfast, eating alone, and dining out, the moderately and severely food insecure group was more than 5 times, and nutrient intake and dietary quality were poorer. In the fully adjusted model, the odds ratios (ORs) of depressive symptoms were 2.35 times (95% CI: 1.39-3.96), and suicide ideation was 1.95 times (95% CI: 1.35-2.82) in single-person compared to multi-person households. Our results lead us to conclude that poor dietary intake in middle-aged single-person households affects the mental health, and the above factors should be considered when framing the dietary policy.

This study was conducted to examine the architectural characteristics of Hak-seong Lee Family's Geun-jae-gong Historic House located in Seok-cheon-ri, Ung-chon-myeon, Ulju-gun, Ulsan. The house is said to have been rebuilt in the early 20th century after it was built in the 18th century, and now there are nine buildings left, including the An-chae, Sa-rang-chae, Sa-dang, storehouses and etc. This house is a large-scale house that is difficult to find similar cases in near region. The division of areas on each building is clear, and it is evaluated that it retains the typical characteristics of the head family in the late Joseon Dynasty in terms of its overall size and layout. In addition, the current wooden structure, which is said to have been rebuilt in the early 20th century, shows the composition method and space utilization method of the 3-Dori type upper structure, which have become more diverse since the late Joseon Dynasty. This has not been dealt with in the previous survey, and should be considered in detail through this paper.
